“…While the electron temperature and density in CC are 40 ∼ 100 eV and ∼ 2 × 10 18 m −3 , respectively. We have already constructed the CC-TS system for measuring the magnetically confined core plasma [8][9][10][11]. A branch of the existing CC-TS laser system to the EC-TS system is guided to the D-module [8].…”

We developed an yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG)-Thomson scattering (TS) system for measuring an electron temperature and density in the divertor simulation experimental module (D-module) plasma in GAMMA 10/PDX. We applied a frequency multiplied microwave interferometer (MIF) system for measuring a line integrated electron density in D-module. In D-module, there are many electrostatic probes on the V-shaped tungsten target plate. However, they cannot measure the upstream plasma parameters. By using the YAG-TS system and MIF system, we can obtain the upstream plasma parameters. In the argon gas puffing D-module plasma, we successfully obtained the electron temperature and density of upstream plasma for the first time.

A divertor simulation experimental module (D-module) in the tandem mirror GAMMA 10/PDX was used for the study of plasma detachment. In previous studies, it was difficult to measure far-upstream plasma parameters in the D-module, and only electrostatic probes on the target plate were used to perform electron temperature and density measurements. To study the detached plasma structure, a Thomson scattering (TS) system and a microwave interferometer system have been installed to measure the inside plasma parameters of the D-module, and a movable electrostatic probe has been placed at the inlet of the D-module to measure the inlet plasma density and temperature. The TS system in the central cell observed the electron temperature and density of the core plasma simultaneously. These measurements revealed the entire density and temperature structure from the core plasma to the divertor plate. The line average electron density measured by the microwave interferometer showed a rollover behavior during detachment. The results indicated that the ionization region was located around the center of the D-module, and it appears to move upstream along the axis.

Plasma detachment is one of the most significant factors affecting nuclear fusion reactors. GAMMA 10/PDX has a divertor simulation experimental module (D-module) for detached plasma studies in the end region. To investigate the effect of suddenly changing the higher-density particle flux into the detached plasma condition, similar to edge-localized mode simulations, we performed supersonic molecular beam injection (SMBI) and electron cyclotron heating (ECH) experiments to produce a higher-density and higher-temperature core plasma and introduced it to the divertor simulation plasma in the D-module. With the application of ECH, the detached plasma moved to the attached condition. Moreover, with the injection of SMBI into the ECH-injected plasma, the attached plasma moved to a detached condition. This study revealed the effect of sudden changes in the particle flux on detached simulation plasma for the first time.
